iCantCU Podcast

In this episode of the iCantCU Podcast, I talk about my cornea transplant surgery and an eye issue that popped up a couple of days before it. Unlike the last cornea transplant, I found out the cause of death of this donor. I didn’t ask for it, but it was given to me anyway.

In this episode of the iCantCU Podcast, I talk about going to the University of the Arts to review and give feedback of students projects on improving accessibility at the Museum of the American Revolution. I also talk about a meeting at the same museum to check out a prototype of a tactile map they’re working on and a mistake I made with Uber going home from it.

Twenty Thousand Hertz On Audio Description

My friend Dan mentioned a podcast on audio description. It is a great episode and shows how much audio described movies and tv shows mean to the blind and visually impaired. Listen here: https://www.20k.org/episodes/audio. I especially enjoyed listening to what Tommy Edison, the blind film critic, had to say on the podcast. Check him out on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/blindfilmcritic.

White Canes Connect Podcast

Listen to another podcast that I cohost and produce called White Canes Connect.

In this episode of the iCantCU Podcast, I talk about finding some typos on an event page and the text exchange I had with one of the visually impaired event creators. By not fixing the errors and saying it was done by a blind person, she perpetuates the low expectations humanity has for the blind and visually impaired.

No Swearing On The Podcast. Yet

I came across an article about the correlation between swearing and how good you feel. The more you curse, the less pain you feel. I haven’t cursed on an episode, even though my language can get pretty salty when I’m not recording. Here’s the article: https://www.the-sun.com/health/4979848/swearing-eases-pain-like-pills/

In this episode of the iCantCU Podcast, I talk about how a simple task of updating my voicemail greeting on my iPhone took a lot longer than it should have, thanks in part to VoiceOver. I also have an update in the ongoing saga of ordering a talking bathroom scale from the Independence Market.

Show notes at https://www.iCantCU.com/172 

Changing iPhone Voicemail Greeting

It should be easy, right? When I first recorded my greeting, I had VoiceOver turned on, so the first thing you heard in the greeting was my iPhone saying “stop.” Then you heard the greeting in my voice and then my iPhone saying “stop” at the end. That’s not what I wanted callers to hear, so I shut off VoiceOver. And that’s when the real fun began.

That Real Blind Tech Show

As I mentioned in this episode, I really enjoy listening to this podcast. Most episodes remind me of a morning radio show with the movie and tv show clips that are played for added humor. There are tons of great tech tips, too. Listen: https://thatrealblindtechshow.libsyn.com/

In this episode of the iCantCU Podcast, I talk about needing another cornea transplant. It will replace the tissue that I received in December, 2008. I also talk about designing an iCantCU Podcast iPhone case.

Cornea Transplant Scheduled For Spring

My cornea transplant will be scheduled for early spring. The surgery that I will be having is called DSEK. It will replace the cornea tissue I received in 2008 from a 69 year old woman donor. I’m hoping for some much younger tissue than my current 82 year old cornea tissue (though it’s only been mine for a little over 13 years.)

Designing Podcast Merch

I’ve always loved creating graphics for my own personal websites and social media, as well as clients though my company Digital Graphics Design serves. Not the best work for someone with very limited sight. It’s even more difficult now as my sight worsens.
